In the UK, public buses that travel long distances (e.g. Cambridge to London) have seat belts, and passengers are required by law to wear them at all times. However, buses that travel within the city do not have seat belts. It is such an odd dichotomy. Perhaps it is so that you can more easily and stealthily move away from the creepy person on the bus?

i’m just taking a guess, but buses are so large and you’re not right in front of a windshield – unless of course you’re in the front row or 2 – so it’s unlikely that you’ll get that injured in the case that the bus does get into a severe accident. then again…i’m really not sure how valid that assumption is. haha.
